THE  BISHOP'S  ADDRESS. 


Brethren  of  the  Clergy  and  Laity: 

We  meet  again  in  annual  council  for  the  interests  of  God's 
Kingdom.  For  the  first  time  this  particular  community 
entertains  our  Diocesan  gathering.  May  God  be  with  us,  to 
bless  our  deliberations  and  determinations  to  the  advance- 
ment of  His  cause  throughout  the  field  especially  committed 
to  our  care;  and  may  He  make  our  meeting  a  help  and  a 
blessing  to  this  congregation  and  to  this  whole  community, 
whose  generous  hospitality  ministers  to.  and  is  doing  so  much 
for,  our  comfort  and  enjoyment. 

We  look  about  us,  and  greet  our  brethren  in  this  annual 
reunion ;  and  that  reminds  us  that  from  time  to  time  God 
takes  one  and  another  to  the  rest  which  remaineth  after  labor 
for  the  faithful  servant. 

October  18,  1910.  the  Rev.  Primus  Priss  Alston,  of  St. 
Michael  and  All  Angels,  Charlotte,  a  most  faithful  and  effi- 
cient colored  Priest  of  the  Diocese,  fell  on  sleep  upon  a  brief 
and  sudden  call.  He  had  told  me,  when  I  had  last  seen  him, 
that  he  was  not  in  good  health,  but  I  thought  him  mistaken. 
He  looked  the  picture  of  mature  and  vigorous  manhood.  I 
was  inexpressibly  shocked  by  the  announcement  of  his  death, 
which  came  to  me  while  I  was  in  attendance  upon  the  General 
Convention  in  Cincinnati.  He  was  one  of  the  early  grad- 
uates of  the  Theological  class  at  St.  Augustine's  School,  Ra- 
leigh, and  was  ordained  to  the  Diaconate  by  Bishop  Lyman. 
May  13,  1883.  Soon  after  his  ordination  Bishop  Lyman 
sent  him  to  me,  that  I  might  make  use  of  his  services  in  the 
Mission  of  St.  Michael  and  All  Angels,  which  I  had  begun 
among  the  colored  people  of  my  parish.  He  continued  in 
that  work  until  his  sudden  call  last  October.  I  have  no 
time  or  space  here  to  give  a  history  of  that  work,  but  today, 
with  its  beautiful  brick  church,  its  large  and  admirably 
appointed  Industrial  School,  and  its  congregation  of  zealous 
workers  and  worshipers,  it  is  one  of  the  best  specimens  of 
a  church  institution  among  our  colored  people,  and  it  stands 
as  his  monument.     He  was  a  man  of  excellent  mind,  of  2,'ood 


judgment,  of  rare  devotion,  of  an  unswerving  faithfulness 
to  the  work  undertaken,  which  knew  no  turning  back  or  turn- 
ing aside,  but  went  straight  on  to  the  end ;  and  the  end 
usually  meant  the  accomplishment  of  his  purpose.  We 
have  had,  and  we  have  still,  upon  the  rolls  of  this  Diocese, 
some  of  the  best  clergymen  in  the  Church  in  the  United 
States.  We  have  been  singularly  fortunate  in  the  character 
of  our  colored  Priests  bred  in  our  own  Diocese.  I  do  not 
think  we  have  had  a  poor  one  among  them ;  and  among  them 
all  our  brother  lately  departed  holds  a  very  high  place.  His 
death  is  a  distinct  loss  to  the  Diocese  and  to  the  Church. 

The  Rev.  Hardy  Hardison  Phelps  was  also  one  of  our 
native  clergy,  though  he  had  served  some  years  in  other 
Dioceses.  He  came  to  us  from  West  Virginia  not  quite  two 
years  ago,  though  he  was  not  formally  transferred  to  me 
until  a  few  months  before  his  death.  In  the  summer  of 
1909  I  put  him  in  charge  of  the  work  in  the  upper  part  of 
Halifax  County,  and  he  greatly  endeared  himself  to  his 
people,  and  won  the  affectionate  regard  of  all  who  came  into 
personal  contact  with  him,  by  his  faithful  performance  of  his 
duty  and  his  sympathetic  and  kindly  ministrations  to  all  who 
would  receive  them.  I  felt  greatly  encouraged  at  the  pros- 
pect of  seeing  that  part  of  our  diocesan  field  so  well  sup- 
plied, and  could  already  discern  precious  fruits  of  his  labors, 
when  he  suddenly  developed  symptoms  of  the  fatal  malady 
which  carried  him  off.  He  gave  promise  of  much  good  serv- 
ice, but  was  called  to  lay  it  down  and  to  face  the  fact  that 
his  work  in  this  world  was  ended.  He  bore  with  great 
patience  the  burden  laid  upon  him,  and  through  some  months 
of  waiting  grew  strong  in  spirit,  committing  himself  without 
a  murmur  to  the  will  of  his  Master  and  Saviour. 

I  can  not  refrain  from  giving  at  least  a  very  brief  and 
inadequate  mention  of  another,  whose  tragical  end  sent  a 
thrill  of  pain  and  grief  through  all  our  hearts.  The  Rev. 
McNeely  DuBose,  for  four  years  Rector  of  St.  Mary's  School, 
retained  his  canonical  connection  with  the  District  of  Ashe- 
ville,  but  in  fact  he  was  one  of  us,  and  with  us  during  those 
years,  as  he  had  been  connected  with  the  Diocese  before  the 
creation  of  the  Missionary  District.  I  think  I  never  knew 
a  more  faithful  and  godly  priest  and  pastor,  and  he  had  few 
equals  in  the  oversight  and  administration  of  a  parish.  The 
Church   in   our   State   has    suffered    a   grievous    loss    in   his 


removal,  and  many  of  tt.s  have  felt  thai  his  place  in  our  hearts 
can  not  be  filled.

The  fields  of  labor  of  the  Clergy  are  as  in  last  year's 
Journal,  except  as  follows : 

The  Rev.  J.  C.  Davis,  D.D.,  on  account  of  the  increasing 
infirmities  of  age,  has  resigned  All  Saints'  Church,  Concord, 
and  is  residing  with  his  son  in  Athens,  Ga.,  though  retaining 
his  canonical  connection  with  this  Diocese. 

The  Rev.  Wm.  II.  Ball,  having  resigned  charge  of  Wades- 
bo  ro  and  Ansonville,  and  having  for  some  months  rendered 
faithful  service  in  St.  Paul's,  Monroe,  and  St.  Timothy's, 
Union  County,  has  for  the  past  two  months  been  officiating  in

The  Rev.  Edward  L.  Ogilby  has  resigned  the  parish  of

The  Rev.  Ceo.  M.  Tolson,  having  given  up  the  work  at

The  Rev.  John  B.  Gibble,  transferred  from  East  Carolina, 
has  accepted  the  rectorship  of  St.  Athanasius'  Church,  Bur-

The  Canons  require  the  Bishop  to  make,  at  every  annual 
Convention  of  his  Diocese,  a  statement  of  the  affairs  of  the 
Diocese,  giving  detailed  information  of  his  acts  and  services, 
such  as  is  contained  in  the  foregoing  pages  of  this  Address. 
Heretofore  I  have  been  accustomed  to  read  this  statement 
and  these  details  in  full,  following  the  unbroken  custom  of 
my  predecessors,  Bishops  of  Xorth  Carolina.  But  I  have 
felt  for  some  years  that  this  was  uninteresting  and  unedify- 
ing.  seeing  such  information  may  be  more  readily  and  more 
effectively  conveyed  by  submitting  the  printed  statement  to 
the  Convention.  T  therefore  omit  at  this  time  the  reading 
of  the  details  of  my  official  acts,  and  ask  the  members  of  the 
Convention  to  consider  my  canonical  duty  sufficiently  per- 
formed by  submitting  to  them  printed  copies  of  those  parts 
of  this  Address. 

The  Canons  also  require  the  Bishop  to  include  in  his 
annual  statement,  "all  matters  tending  to  throw  light  upon 


17 

the  affairs  of  the  Diocese."  This  I  understand  as  requiring 
me  to  lay  before  you  all  matters  of  special  importance  re- 
lating to  the  duties,  opportunities,  and  obligations  of  this 
Diocesan  Convention,  with  reference  to  the  general  work 
and  welfare  of  the  Church.  And  this  part  of  my  annual 
statement  I  think  it  most  proper  that  I  should  read  publicly 
in  the  Convention. 

OUR   GENERAL    WORK. 

First  of  all  when  we  come  together  we  are  reminded  of 
our  oneness  in  Christ.  That  is  what  every  Christian  assem- 
bly means.  And  the  one  great  note  of  life  and  power  in 
our  American  Christianity  of  today  is  this  increasing  sense 
of  the  relation  of  the  individual  Christian  to  the  whole  Body. 
No  one  who  remembers  our  General  Conventions  for  the  last 
thirty  years  can  have  failed  to  note  how  the  small  matters  of 
our  domestic  trials  and  difficulties  have  fallen  out  of  notice 
in  that  great  meeting,  and  how  the  great  things  of  the 
Church's  world-wide  commission,  and  its  relations  with  all 
Christian  people,  have  come  to  occupy  the  time  and  thought 
of  our  Bishops  and  deputies.  And  if  Ave  would  align  our- 
selves with  this  advance,  we  must  place  first  in  our  thought 
and  action  our  duty  and  relationship  to  the  general  work  of 
the  Church. 

I  therefore  ask  the  attention  of  this  Convention  to  our 
General  Missionary  work.  In  no  part  of  our  activities  have 
we  greater  cause  of  encouragement  than  in  the  work  of  our 
Board  of  Missions.  Beginning  with  the  action  of  our  Gen- 
eral Convention  at  San  Francisco  in  1001,  in  laying  out  its 
annual  work,  and  apportioning  among  the  Dioceses  the  sum 
to  be  raised  for  that  work,  there  has  been  a  steady  advance 
in  the  extent  and  effectiveness  of  the  work  of  the  Board  of 
Missions,  and  in  the  systematic  and  generous  support  given 
to  it  throughout  the  Church.  ITp  to  that  time  this  Diocese 
had  so  imperfectly  realized  its  relationship  to  the  Board 
that  it  had  never  done  anything  at  all  commensurate  with 
its  duty  to  our  general  Foreign  and  Domestic  work.  Since 
our  duty  was  pointed  out  to  us,  and  our  part  of  it  assigned  in 
the  suggestion  of  a  definite  proportion  of  the  obligation,  I 
am  proud  and  thankful  to  say  that  this  Diocese  has  never 
failed,  up  to  the  present  time,  to  give  more  than  the  amount 
asked  for. 

But  the  work  still  moves  forward,  and  the  circumference 
3 


18 

of  our  enterprises  expands.  The  Convention  of  1910  effected 
a  most  important  reorganization  of  the  Board  of  Missions, 
and  it.  is  more  than  likely  that  we  shall  find  the  new  Board 
disposed  to  push  on  the  work  with  increased  vigor.  Indeed, 
since  J  first  sent  these  lines  to  the  printer,  the  Church  papers 
inform  us  that  the  Board  of  Missions,  at  its  meeting  this 
month,  resolved  to  increase  the  apportionment  by  an  addition 
of  15  per  cent,  to  the  amount  asked  of  the  Church  last  year. 
This  calls  for  increased  faith  and  liberality,  and  for  in- 
creased diligence  on  our  part.  Heretofore  the  Clergy  and 
people  have  kindly  and  generously  responded  to  the  appeals 
which,  as  their  Bishop,  I  have  made  to  them,  and  our  appor- 
tionment has  been  promptly  and  generously  met.  But  I 
have  received  communications  and  suggestions  from  the 
Board  of  Missions,  looking  to  the  more  active  participation 
of  ibis  Convention  and  of  the  vestries  of  the  several  parishes 
in  the  distribution  of  the  obligation  and  the  collection  of  the 
fund.-.  I  therefore  ask  that  a  committee  of  this  Convention 
be  appointed  to  take  into  consideration  the  obligations  of  our 
Diocese  and  people  to  the  missionary  work  of  the  Church 
and  the  best  methods  to  be  recommended  for  the  prompt  and 
systematic  performance  of  the  same. 

In  this  connection  I  can  not  refrain  from  asking  your 
serious  consideration  of  our  duty  with  reference  to  what 
has  been  called  the  "Forward  Movement,"  and  the  "Men's 
Missionary  Movement,"  of  which  we  were  thinking  and  talk- 
ing so  much  at  this  time  last  year.  We  were  stirred  up  to 
much  interest  and  zeal,  and  made  large  promises  to  ourselves 
id'  more  devoted  service  and  more  generous  gifts  for  the 
bringing  of  the  world  to  Christ.  I  called  together  some  of 
our  prominent  laymen,  and  endeavored  to  secure  their  more 
active  participation  in  the  work  of  the  Church  at  home  as 
well  as  increased  efforts  abroad.  T  trust  that  we  have  not 
forgotten  the  good  resolutions  then  made.  May  I  hope  that 
the  committee,  above  suggested,  may  take  up  the  whole  ques- 
tions of  arousing  our  people,  and  putting  them  in  the  way  of 
more  effective  and  persistent  co-operation  in  all  the  activities 
of  diocesan  and  general  work? 

st.   .mart's  conference. 

The  reference  to  our  "Men's  Meeting"  of  January,  1910, 
reminds  me  that  that  meeting  adjourned  to  meet  again  in 
connection   with   the   Conference  of  clergy   and  laity   to  be 


19 

held  at  St.  Mary's  School.  The  Conference  was  held  as 
appointed,  June  20-24,  1910,  and  no  one  who  had  the  privi- 
lege of  participating  in  it  can  have  failed  to  experience  in 
some  degree  the  benefits,  spiritual,  intellectual,  and  social, 
of  its  sessions.  The  addresses  of  Bishop  Kinsman  were  its 
chief  feature,  and  of  themselves  abundantly  rewarded  all 
who  heard  them  for  the  lime  devoted  to  the  meeting.  But 
the  more  informal  conferences  and  discussions  were  most 
interesting  and  helpful,  and  calculated  to  be  of  great  advan- 
tage to  our  Church  people  of  the  Carolinas,  if  we  can  so 
excite  their  interest  as  to  attract  in  future  a  general  attend- 
ance from  different  parts  of  our  associated  Dioceses.  It  is 
planned  to  repeat  the  Conference  this  year,  June  5th-9th, 
and  I  most  earnestly  press  upon  our  clergy  and  laity  the 
importance  of  attending  this  meeting.  I  trust  that  every 
clergyman  of  the  Diocese  will  endeavor  to  be  present,  and 
that  one  layman  at  least,  or  two  if  practicable,  may  be  in- 
duced to  attend  from  each  parish.  With  such  a  general 
attendance  much  may  be  done  in  securing  a  better  under- 
standing of  many  practical  problems  of  our  Church  life,  and 
better  co-operation  in  dealing  with  them. 

CHRISTIAN    EDUCATION. 

The  mention  of  St.  Mary's  School  naturally  suggests  the 
subject  of  Christian  Education.  I  do  not,  in  this  Address, 
discuss  particularly  the  interests  of  St.  Mary's  School,  since 
the  report  of  the  Trustees,  and  the  presence  of  the  Kector  of 
St.  Mary's  sufficiently  assure  us  of  its  adequate  considera- 
tion by  the  Convention.  We  have  done  something  towards 
putting  St.  Mary's  upon  a  proper  foundation,  but  very  much 
remains  to  be  done.  You  are  well  assured  of  my  deep  in- 
terest in  that  school,  and  of  my  readiness  to  co-operate  to  the 
utmost  extent,  of  my  ability  in  its  behalf. 

At  this  time  we  have  another  of  the  institutions  of  the 
Church,  and  of  the  Diocese,  demanding  our  most  serious 
attention. 

The  University  of  the  South  at  Sewanee  is  in  a  peculiar 
manner  the  child  of  the  Church  in  the  South.  I  will  not  at 
this  time  discuss  its  history,  or  enlarge  upon  the  very  strong- 
claims  it  has  upon  us,  more  than  barely  to  mention  them. 
This  Diocese  is  one  of  those  responsible  for  its  existence, 
and  bound  in  honor,   as  it  seems  to  me,   to  respond  to  its 


20 

appeal  for  loyal  sympathy  and  support.  It  exists  by  our 
act ;  it  is  carried  on  by  our  authority,  and  under  our  direc- 
tion. Its  responsibilities  have  been  assumed  with  our  sanc- 
tion. We  made  it ;  we  are  resjDonsible  for  it.  And  nobly 
has  it  justified  its  existence,  and  repaid  a  thousand-fold  all 
that  has  been  done  for  it.  I  have,  during  the  past  twelve  or 
fifteen  months,  been  devoting  some  degree  of  special  atten- 
tion and  study  to  the  history  of  the  Church  in  the  South 
since  the  year  1859.  The  growth  of  the  Church  since  that 
time  has  been  truly  marvelous,  more  than  three  hundred  per 
cent,  in  the  clergy,  and  more  than  six  hundred  per  cent,  in 
communicants,  taking  the  Southern  Dioceses  south  and  west 
of  Virginia,  and  the  Carolinas.  And,  leaving  out  of  account 
the  element  of  immigration,  I  am  satisfied  that  in  these 
Dioceses  the  most  important  factor  in  the  life  of  the  Church 
has  been  the  influence  and  work  of  the  University  of  the 
South.  Tn  proportion  to  the  means  at  its  command  it  has 
exerted  an  intellectual  and  spiritual  power  in  the  country  far 
beyond  that  of  our  oldest  and  most  amply  endowed  universi- 
ties. We,  in  North  Carolina,  have  come  but  little  within 
its  influence  ourselves  on  account  of  the  closer  identification 
of  our  people  with  our  State  University  at  Chapel  Hill ;  but 
with  the  few  men  we  have  sent,  and  the  meager  contribu- 
tions we  have  made,  we  have  yet  received  incalculable  re- 
turns in  the  character  and  work  of  both  clergymen  and  lay- 
men of  our  Diocese  educated  and  trained  at  Sewanee.  We 
have  with  us  at  this  Convention  a  commissioned  representa- 
tive of  the  University  of  the  South,  to  whom  I  have  felt  it 
my  duty  to  assign  a  special  place  upon  our  program,  and  a 
set  hour  for  speaking  to  us  in  behalf  of  our  own  institution. 
This  Convention  should  attend  carefully  to  what  he  and 
others  shall  lay  before  us,  and  we  should  determine  what 
oar  duty  demands  of  us  in  regard  to  this  work.  I  have  re- 
ceived from  the  Bishop  and  Diocese  of  Atlanta  a  communica- 
tion on  this  subject,  which  I  am  asked  to  lay  before  this  Con- 
vention, and  also  other  papers  from  the  Commissioner  of 
Endowments  of  the  University  of  the  South,  which  shall  be 
at  the  command  of  any  committee  which  the  Convention 
may  see  fit  to  appoint  for  the  further  and  detailed  considera- 
tion of  this  important  matter.  In  the  meanwhile  I  ask 
your  intelligent  and  sympathetic  attention  to  what  the  rep- 
resentatives and  advocates  of  our  own  institution  may  have 
to  sav  to  us.

DIOCESAN    WORK. 


Iii  many  respects  the  work  of  the  Diocese  at  large  is  going 
on  vigorously  and  well.  There  are  many  signs  of  growth 
and  development  in  our  large  towns.  I  am  much  gratified 
at  finding  that  in  many  of  our  parishes  there  is  a  disposition 
to  provide  a  more  adequate  support  for  the  clergy;  and  mosl 
of  our  stronger  parishes  are  fairly  alive  to  the  duty  of  push- 
ing the  work  of  the  Church  in  their  immediate  vicinity. 
A  great  deal  of  excellent  work  of  this  kind  is  being  done,  in 
Charlotte,  in  Raleigh,  in  Henderson,  in  Durham,  in  Tar- 
boro,  and  in  other  places.  And  the  Diocese  still  main- 
tains its  admirable  work  in  the  new  manufacturing  towns 
and  suburbs,  which  is  of  much  importance,  and  in  which  I 
believe  this  Diocese  leads  among  all  the  Dioceses  of  the  South. 

Our  greatest  weakness,  and  our  consequent  greatest  need, 
at  this  time,  are  in  connection  with  the  work  in  our  smaller 
parishes  in  towns  and  in  the  country.  Many  of  these  are 
dependent  upon  outside  assistance  to  maintain  even  infre- 
quent services.  And  in  the  missionary  work  of  our  Con- 
vocations we  need  renewed  and  increased  interest  and  co- 
operation of  our  people — both  the  clergy  and  the  laity  of  our 
stronger  parishes.  This  work,  formerly  carried  on  under 
an  Executive  Missionary  Committee  of  this  Convention,  is 
now  remitted  wholly  to  the  three  Convocations.  This  change 
has  fully  justified  itself  in  the  results  of  the  work.  T  be- 
lieve that  quite  twice  as  much  is  expended  for  Diocesan  Mis- 
sionary work  under  the  new  method  as  under  the  old.  But 
we  are  still  far  below  the  measure  of  our  duty.  And  I  make 
here  an  earnest  appeal  to  the  clergy  and  laity  to  remember 
their  duty  to  our  Diocesan  Missions,  and  to  remember  that 
that  duty  can  only  be  discharged  through  the  medium  of 
our  Convocations.  Our  people  have  not  come  to  realize  the 
importance  of  attending  the  meetings  of  the  Convocations, 
and  of  co-operating  with  our  faithful  Archdeacons  in  the 
good  work  which  they  are  doing.  We  have  heard  the  reports 
of  these  Archdeacons,  and  have  been  shown  the  opportuni- 
ties which  lie  open  before  us.  Let  me  ask  you  to  remember 
that,  to  the  missionary  work  of  our  own  Diocese,  attendance 
by  laymen  as  well  as  clergymen  upon  the  annual  meetings  of 
the  Convocations,  in  the  summer  or  autumn,  when  these 
meetings  are  held,  is  more  important  than  attendance  on  our 
annual    Conventions    in    May.      There    has    been    much    im- 


29 


provement  within  the  last  two  or  three  years.  Let  us  work 
for  more.  We  must  have  these  meetings  better  attended  if 
we  are  to  do  our  work  successfully. 

In  concluding  this  part  of  the  subject,  I  can  not  refrain 
from  mentioning  three  new  enterprises  which  have  marked 
the  year  covered  by  this  Address,  namely :  the  hopeful  begin- 
ning we  have  made  upon  work  in  the  very  important  manu- 
facturing town  of  Spray,  where  I  have  been  able  to  put  the 
Rev.  Wm.  J.  Gordon,  and  a  parish  visitor  and  worker  main- 
tained by  a  stipend  from  the  "United  Offering1';  the  Rev. 
Mr.  Bost's  admirable  enterprise  in  the  interest  of  diocesan 
work  among  the  Deaf  Mutes,  with  a  faithful  woman  worker 
devoting  herself  wholly  to  the  cause;  and  Archdeacon 
Hughes's  efforts  in  behalf  of  the  convicts  on  the  State  Farm 
in  Halifax  County,  and  the  work  carried  on  there  by  Mr. 
LeBlanc.  I  hope  the  members  of  the  Convention  may  be 
able  to  hear  something  more  from  those  engaged  in  the 
work;  but  T  can  not  refrain  from  recording  in  this  place  my 
own  very  high  appreciation  of  this  work  among  the  deaf 
mutes,  and  also  that  for  the  people  of  the  State  Farm,  and 
my  very  hearty  commendation  of  both  to  the  sympathy  and 
support  of  the  Diocese. 

T  would  say  one  word  on  behalf  of  our  diocesan  work 
among  the  Xegroes.  Should  not  each  parish  in  the  Diocese 
do  something  in  aid  of  this  work?  In  South  Carolina  the 
Convention  has  asked  that  the  Easter  Offering  in  every 
parish  lie  devoted  to  the  missionary  work  of  the  Diocese,  one- 
half  to  the  white  work,  one-half  to  the  black.  Surely  we 
should  do  something.  I  ask  this  Convention  to  recommend 
some  method  by  which  all  our  people  may  be  encouraged  to 
show  their  sympathy  for  our  colored  brethren,  and  to  extend 
their  generous  assistance  to  our  own  faithful  colored  Arch- 
deacon and  the  workers  under  him,  in  the  efforts  in  behalf 
of  our  colored  people. 

In  conclusion,  and  looking  again  at  matters  of  universal 
concern,  I  think  all  Christian  hearts  must  feel  a  deep  sym- 
pathy with  the  widespread  sentiment  in  behalf  of  Peace  and 
Good  Will  among  all  the  nations  of  the  earth,  which  seems 
to  be  one  of  the  hopeful  signs  of  the  time.  And  while  we 
are  sensible  of  that  fatal  weakness  and  perversity  of  our 
fallen  nature  which  still  breaks  out  in  public  and  private 
contention  and  strife  and  bloodshed,  yet  what  the  Angels 
promised  as  the  gift  of  God  in  the  new-born  Christ  we,  His 


23 

people,  nmsi  continue  to  pray  for  and  to  strive  after.  The 
President  of  this  great  Country  is  in  many  ways  showing 
himself  to  be  a  great  and  a  magnanimous  Leader;  and  in 
none  more  than  in  his  advocacy  of  Peace  on  Earth,  and  par- 
ticularly in  his  proposals  for  the  better  security  of  perma- 
nent amity  and  concord  between  America  and  our  Mother 
Country,  England.  This  has  no  party  or  sectional  element-, 
but  is  intended  to  express  and  to  develop  the  mutual  good 
will  of  all  people  at  home  and  abroad.  Shall  not  we,  as 
representing  one  Diocese  in  the  Kingdom  of  the  Prince  of 
Peace,  put  on  record  our  devout  hope  and  prayer,  that  God 
may  bless  and  bring  to  good  effect  the  efforts  of  our  govern- 
ment on  behalf  of  Peace  among  the  Nations  and  the  Peoples 
of  the  Earth?  Jos.  Blount  Cheshire, 

Bishop  of  North  Carolina.

During  the  past  year  the  work  at  St.  Michael's  has  sustained  a 
very  great  loss  by  the  death  of  the  Priest,  Rev.  P.  P.  Alston,  who  for 
about  27  years  had  labored  so  patiently  and  well  for  the  establishment 
of  a  really  splendid  plant  of  a  beautiful,  Well  appointed  church  and 
substantial  school  building.  We  feel  a  great  measure  of  thankfulness 
to  the  Rev.  W.  J.  Smith,  Rev.  E.  A.  Osborne  and  others  who  have 
most  graciously  come  to  our  assistance  in  trying  to  keep  alive  the 
spirit   and  work  of  our  worthy  leader.

The  outlook  for  the  work  in  Durham  is  very  bright  and  the  Bishop 
made  no  mistake  in  reopening  the  mission.  Since  we  have  been  wor- 
shipping in  our  little  chapel  our  congregation  has  grown  steadily. 
We  have  assumed  a  great  responsibility,  but  we  hope,  after  a  few  years 
of  struggles  and  hardships,  we  will  be  able  to  erect  on  our  lot  a  sub- 
stantial building.

This  report  covers  only  ten  and  one-half  months,  as  Holy  Trinity 
Paiish  came  into  existence  May  15.  1010.  The  report  is  as  accurate  as 
possible  considering  the  fact  that  Holy  Trinity  Parish  was  organized 
through  the  consolidation  of  the  two  parishes  of  St.  Barnabas  and  St. 
Andrew's.  The  congregation  worships  now  in  the  St.  Barnabas  Church 
building,  but  are  taking  steps  to  erect  a  new  edifice.  In  addition  to  the 
two  church  buildings  and  rectories  of  St.  Andrew's  and  St.  Barnabas's 
and  St.  Cuthbert's  Chapel,  the  parish  owns  a  house  and  lot  and  another 
lot,  the  latter  to  be  used  for  the  new  church  building.

The  work  here  has  a  few  difficulties,  which,  under  present  conditions, 
we  can  not  overcome.  The  spirit  manifested  among  the  denominational 
churches  is  one  of  great  enthusiasm,  more  marked,  however,  on  the 
material  side,  and  as  we  arc  not  aide  financially  to  cope  with  them, 
the  majority  of  the  people  naturally  remain  away  from  us.  Much 
good  can  be  done,  and  the  opportunity  is  now,  if  we  were  only  able  to 
grasp  it  ;  but  for  a  lack  of  sufficient  means  to  do  what  we  have  at 
hand,  the  few  church   people  are  unable  to  meet   and  face  the  situation.

We  have  added  an  industrial  department  to  oifr  work,  including 
cooking,  sewing,  and  music.  Our  work  is  very  much  improved.  Our 
day  school  and  Sunday-school  number  nearly  the  same.  We  are  trying 
to  make  our  children  feel  the  same  interest  in  both  schools,  and  hope 
to  do  much  good.  We  have  two  small  rooms  to  teach  in.  We  can  not 
accommodate  the  large  number  of  children  that  daily  crowd  our  rooms. 
We  arc  sadly  in  need  of  more  room.

Owing  to  my  duties  in   Raleigh,  I   have  not    been  able  to  do  as  much 

for  this  mission  as  is  needed.  'I  lie  greatest  drawback  to  the  work  at

on  the  ground  much  effective  work  could  !><■  done.  Without  one  the

The  present  minister  in  charge  began  work  on  the  first  Sunday  in 
December,  1910.  Since  the  preceding  March  the  work  had  been  without 
a  minister.  The  Sunday-school  was,  however,  kept  up  by  the  earnest 
work  of  two  faithful  women.  The  following  facts  in  regard  to  the 
present  work  may  be  worthy  of  mention:  (1)  A  visit  of  one  month  by 
Miss  Kate  Cheshire  in  December.  (2)  Mission  by  Rev.  A.  R.  Berkeley, 
of  Mayodan,  in  March.  (3)  Appointment  of  Miss  Roxana.  Riddle  as 
Parish  visitor  under  the  United  Offering.  (4)  Securing  of  a  rented 
Parish  House.

Mission  services  have  begun  at  Kernersville,  where  in  a  town  of 
probably  1.200  people  there  lias  been  no  work  of  the  church.  A  weekly 
sei'vice  is  held  and  the  interest  seems  to  justify  this  effort.  In  tin- 
Parish  church  there  lias  been  manifest  an  active  interest  which  is  to 
be  seen  in  the  installation  of  a  $2,500  organ  in  July.  The  Parish  has 
also  undertaken  a  new  rectory,  which  will  be  completed  by  the  first 
of  May,  at  a  cost  of  $5,000.  The  work  in  the  colored  mission  has  been 
transferred  to  Rev.  J.  K.  Satterwhite,  who  was  advanced  to  the  Priest- 
hood last  summer.

Unfortunately  the  location  of  our  work  is  in  a  place  inconvenient 
to  the  rank  and  file  of  the  people.  In  the  near  future  it  may  be  wise 
to   consider   the   advisability   of  taking  the   work   nearer   into   the   city.
